That package felt the pinch late last month when promoters decided to pull the plug on a few dates, including this weekend's planned stop at the Theatre at Honda Center, which has been moved to the smaller Hollywood Palladium on Sunday and meant a tour-ending date in Chula Vista was scrubbed. Shows also were canceled in Phoenix and Concord because of meager ticket sales.

Tickets purchased for the O.C. and Chula Vista dates will be honored at the Palladium show, but that doesn't mean concert-goers are happy about it. On the tour's website, the Bamboozle Roadshow blog is littered with comments from furious and/or confused fans posting about troubles getting refunds, being stuck with Ticketmaster fees and finding out vague, very last-minute details about prepaid VIP experiences.

Despite the speed bumps, the show must -- and hopefully will -- go on this Sunday. Before the tour kicked off and all this cancellation madness started, I chatted with All Time Low guitarist and vocalist Jack Barakat about the touring carnival by phone.

Barakat & Co., who have played Bamboozle shows on both coasts, were excited to be a co-headliner on the month-long tour.
